— Our story —
We started with one stainless steel dabba on the kitchen counter.
Every Friday afternoon, after school, the smell of ghee would crawl under the bedroom door. Paati would be at the stove, gold bangles tied up in a kerchief, frying murukku in a black iron kadai.
Thayilam is that afternoon — bottled. We don't add palm oil. We don't bulk order. We make small batches in a kitchen in T. Nagar and we tie every box with a piece of thread.
Try one. You'll remember something.
